Removing and replacing the MLC 64 VCM module knob and faceplate

The MLC 64 is provided with one black and one white VCM faceplate and volume control 
knob. You can change the faceplate, knob, or both on the volume control module as 
described in the following procedures.

Replacing the MLC 64 volume control knob

NOTE:

  It is not necessary to remove the faceplate or the board from the wallplate in 

order to replace the knob.

1. 

Rotate the knob to its lowest setting (the dot on the knob should be aligned with the 
bottom edge of the volume icon on the faceplate) to line up the notch in the edge 
of the knob with the notch in the edge of the hole in the faceplate, enabling you to 
access the hex screw on the knob.

2. 

Insert the small Allen wrench (provided) into the opening created by the two notches, 
until it stops.
